The standalone Aliens vs. Predator benchmark uses DX11 features such as hardware tessellation and advanced shadow sampling to draw and animate everyone's favourite xenomorph.
3DMark 11 should have set the tone for all of the subsequent gaming benchmarks, but there's a small twist in Aliens vs. Predator.
In this title, memory speed appears to have a visible impact, and that allows the XFX card to nudge ahead of Gigabyte's 7870 OC. There's little in it, though, as all three factory-overclocked cards are closely matched.
